OMG, i hate 800 numbers. so, i'll be sitting at home watching TV like any other day, and the phone rings. OK, now i'm thinking, "i wonder who that could be. Oh, i know, it's the President of the United States, and he's going to tell me how i've helped my country by voulentiered to feed old people at the nursing home, and he'll give me a medal. Or, it's Tom Cruise telling me how cool I am. No, wait, I've got it. It's Chuck Norris and he's going to give me all his martial arts abilities and his super powers over the phone." So, i get to the phone, and i look at the caller ID. It's not the President, Tom Cruise, or Chuck Norris. It says it's the 800 service, and the number is 800-955-6600. So, i foolishly pick up the phone and say, "hello."
The man says, "hello, is the man or woman of the house hold home at the present time." He was trying to sound proffesional, but failling horribaly. I could tell he was one of those telemarketers in India who call 400 people a day trying to sell a toothbrush for a company they've never heard of on the other side of the world. So i hang up. 1 hour later, the same number calls, and i accedentally pick up the phone. later realizing it was the same number, but a different guy, i hung up.
Now they call us 20 times a day, and all those calls are done by different people. I know they are all different people because i answered the phone every time one day to see if it was a different person every time, and that was a really long day.
